Meatball Lettuce Wraps

Kate Mathis

Wrap it up! Lean turkey meatballs in lettuce cups get their savory zing (but no extra fat) from garlic, mint, and Asian fish sauce. Carrots add crunch — and loads of vitamin A. No grill? To cook the meat on a stovetop, use a grill pan, and increase cooking time to 8 minutes.
